Great video and I was expecting these DC comics 😊 My favorite was first Captain Atom 🔥 Love the character and should be in bigger use 🎉 And great that you are getting back in to the swing with these videos 🙏😊
@BrokeBoyComics Thank you! I have a couple weird random books on my radar so stay tuned if I pull them off lol bronze and older will always have a special appeal!
Wow that is a nice ASM #2. It has been a goal of mine to own all of the Ditko ASM's, and #2 and Amazing Fantasy 15 are the last two I need to reach that goal.
@@ConlinsComics Well, I don't see it happening in a short time. I was a silver age kid, so many of my books I acquired as a kid, but I had the sense to try to keep them in very good condition, so I did not pay huge amounts of money for many of them, but there are a few that I have forked over more money than I ever dreamed of spending on .12 comics!
@mancavecomics6832 Thank you! And it is definitely not easy. Especially when you're watching all the comic Instagrams and RUclips channels and seeing all the great pick-ups people are getting lol
I try to use the hobby to fund its self by doing a lot of trading and selling other books in my collection for bigger books like my Hulk 181, ASM 1, Avengers 1. I also resell and those funds help as well. Nice collection! Love all those Spidey keys on your wall most of which I don’t have.
@billyrod1980 Thank you very much! I do some reselling as well as rotating some of my other hobbies to try to make them fund at least some of each other. I really need to free up.more time to go places in person for trades! ASM 1 and a higher grade Hulk 181 are some of my bigger grail wants, so huge congrats on those!
Mine do not compare. I have ASM 300 and New Mutants 98 that I bought off the rack in college. Both are probably only about 7.0 quality. Beyond that, it's just things I've purchased recently, like Daredevil 268 and Marvel Premiere 15, both of which cost me $250. And Daredevil 131 for which I paid $185 exactly 7 days ago. I only have 2 graded comics, and then only because I couldn't find a raw copy: Uncanny X-Men 106 (CGC 7.0) and Avengers annual 10 (CGC 6.0).
@richchappell Those are all still amazing books! I still have to snag an ASM 300 for my spidey collection, and Marvel Premiere 15 is also on my radar. You've got a great collection going!
@johncribbs9472 Where I live, I get the best deals online and bought them already slabbed. I try to only do big first appearance or covers graded. Where I don't have the best eye for grading yet, it's safer for me to buy it graded, especially when even half a point can mean big money. That said, I have 2 or 3 books I purchased raw, coincidentally all from James of Minthunter Comics, who does have an eye for grading, that I plan to submit. My asm 2 in the video, my Flash 139, and possibly my Batman 227
I'm unsure about your choice of wording..." expensive "... Do you mean most valuable or most you have spent? I Spent the most to get a Daredevil #1 ,tied with Giant Size Xmen #1...but my most valuable books are Hulk #181 graded 7.5...verification signature Len Wein...and Fantastic Four #48 graded an 8.0.
@danielcochran9882 Ah, i see what you mean. In this case, it is both, though. These books I didn't buy at covid highs, but got a minor deal or the price listed in the video. So they are my most valuable AND most expensive. And that is a spectacular list you've got! Daredevil 1, Hulk 181, and FF 48 are some of the huge Marvel books I have on my wish list. And those grades sound amazing!
Excellent books and a very nice collection, as a huge DC collector myself, I was happy to seem some DC on your list!
@marclapuma Thank you! I'm primarily a DC guy, and a lot of DC you don't see every day!
Great share! Happy hunting!
@@andrewdeen6319 Thank you!
Well done, my friend! I loved the books. I salute you good stuff, The G-man totally approves. !😉

@ThingComics And even with all my rare high-grade DC, Spiderman still rears his head lol The Captain Atom I am particularly proud of though!
@@ConlinsComics yup, Spidey creeps through the cracks 😂😂 But it is a beautiful one, even though it is not my jam 😊
Awesome video! I love all the books you show off on your channel! I’m very much leaning towards collecting a ton of Bronze Age and older books.

Thanks for sharing your books. I like the ASM2.
@@kestonsoldschoolcomicbooks6842 Thank you for checking it out! I'm really proud to finally own that one
So cool. Love your collection.👍

I have a few $300 to $600 books. Probably my most expensive is Batman 181 or Batman 232. Love this video might do one myself.
@joshscomics01 Do it, Josh! I never get tired of seeing all your Batman DC goodness 🦇
Great video! It is troubling we have that much tied up in comics. But I’d rather have those six books than spend it on 4 mortgage payments 😎
My thoughts exactly! Lol make sure the bills and important life expenses are covered, and then enjoy your passions and hobbies guilt, and debt, free
Some lovely books there esp the ASM 2🎉
@@johnmoran6418 Thank you very much! Little kid me didn't think I'd own that one!
I like watching these I have a few books worth 10k and up
@@MontagaAMGDrope Thank you very much! You must have some truly monster grail books!
That’s a nice looking Asm 2..could be 4.5 to 5.5..
@ajguez That one I plan to submit at some point, so it matches my others, and I know for sure. Fingers crossed🤞
Awesome books, and I try not to think about the money I've spent on books.
@@casino_comics I'm the same. You know the money on different books, but it's something to behold when you stop and tally it up lol

Did you purchase all of your big books slabbed or did you submit any yourself for grading?

Very good advice. Wish I could follow it. All the claim sales and Whatnot make it too easy to get off strategy.
@tjroo2924 I know that all too well. Many of my haul videos were predominantly from claim sales!
As long as you didn't spend 10k, you are doing well
@@amazingmurfinator6338 True, but still a good amount!
